General Ogloblin arrested for receiving multi-million dollar bribe
The former head of the communications planning department of the Main Communications Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, Major General Alexander Ogloblin, was arrested.
He was suspected of receiving a large bribe.
The Investigative Committee's message on its Telegram channel said that Ogloblin was detained on suspicion of receiving a large bribe.
According to investigators, the general may have received a bribe on an especially large scale while fulfilling a state defense order.
